A BAR has been named regional Cider & Perry Pub of the Year by the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra).

The Bunch of Grapes in Pontypridd was also a finalist in the national Camra competition.

Competition organiser Sarah Newson said: “We judge nominated pubs in a similar way to Camra’s National Pub of the Year competition but with an emphasis on the promotion of real cider and perry and having enthusiastic staff who knows what’s real and what’s not.”
